Your Turn Scholarship by Kaleidoscope

The Your Turn Scholarship by Kaleidoscope is a $5,000 award for a high school senior who is ready to take the next step after graduation. It's the first scholarship Kaleidoscope has built itself, and it's just the beginning.

Hold a kaleidoscope up to the light and give it a turn. Same pieces, a whole new view. Your future works the same way. The teams, the jobs, the late nights and the people who showed up for you are already yours. What comes next is where you start arranging them your way.

Your Turn is $5,000 toward whatever comes next: a two- or four-year college, a trade or technical program, or a path all your own. Every direction counts.

You apply through the Kaleidoscope Scholarship Fund General Application. Fill it out once, and you'll also be considered for other KSF scholarships you qualify for.

To be eligible, you must:

• Be a high school senior graduating in 2027

• Plan to pursue your next step after graduation, whether that's a community college, 4-year university, a trade or technical program, or another educational opportunity.

You don't need to be enrolled anywhere yet. If you're selected, you'll confirm where you're headed when you accept the award.

Every high school senior who applies is automatically qualified to win the Your Turn Scholarship. Your "why" for your next step matters most to us. Your financial need and grades are part of your story, not the whole thing.

The recipient will be announced and notified by email during the first week of February 2027.

We encourage you to use AI tools to brainstorm ideas, work through your thoughts and organize your essays. Your final responses, though, should be written in your own words and tell your own story. All submissions are reviewed to make sure they aren't fully AI-generated or copied and pasted.

Your information is used only to review your applications and connect you with opportunities on Kaleidoscope. We never sell your data.
